Delaying a Real Estate Transaction May Increase Costs

HERE’S WHY:

If you are a buyer today you have…

• Lower competition for the best properties
• Healthy inventory of available homes from which to choose
• Excellent interest rates
• Federal home buyer tax credits ranging between $8,000 to $6,500 (depending upon whether you are a first time or repeat buyer)

If you wait to buy:

• Competition increases as buyers enter the market when prices and interest rates rise
• Choices decrease
• Home buyer tax credits expire April 30, 2010
